Be Joyful

Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice! Let your gentleness be known to all men. The Lord is at hand. Be anxious for nothing, but in EVERYTHING by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the PEACE OF GOD, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:4-7

These are verses I memorized years ago and they are written on my heart. There are times when I still need to remember not to be anxious, but I eventually listen to my heart saying these verses. I didn't really understand what the "peace of God" was until I experienced it. It's having peace inside you, even when you're going through heartbreaking situations and trials. It does "surpass ALL understanding" and you know it comes from GOD alone. Praise the Lord for His wonderful promises!

I love, love, love what I do. I am passionate about the things I create and the talents God has placed in me. I SO appreciate the time you take to look at my things and the comments you all leave me!

Blessings to you!

“Rain or Shine”With Spring approaching fast, you never know what type of weather you'll get, so we would love to see you add some RAIN or SUNSHINE to your Elisabeth Bell creation.
It’s that simple!

Use ANY Elisabeth Bell Design in order to qualify for
any 2 stamps of your choice from
Elphine House Australia.

Random.org will choose our winner again next time, and will be announced at the beginning of the next challenge.

Here is my take on the challenge:

After I finished this with the birthday sentiment, I added to pearls to the basket. Now it looks more like an Easter card! I may have to make another one of these for Easter! The image for this is a brand new stamp by Elphine House Australia called "Carrie Thoughtful Breeze". This is another stamp named after Lynne, one of our design team members, daughter who has some serious health issues. Really sweet for Helen and Lew at EHA to do this for Carrie.

There are a couple of RAK supplies on this I received from sweet cyber friends. The pink and white lace are from Sabrina which I already posted, but I have another here that I still need to show you. The swirly circle on the bottom right, is from a RAK my sweet friend Jill sent to me. I believe this is a dies cut from a Cheery Lynn Die. Jill wrote the name on the back of it for me, but I glued it down before I wrote it down, lol! I wasn't sure how to use this, but I love how it came out here! I may need to order one of these dies! I'll be doing a separate post to show you all the goodies that Jill sent to me!

I'm entering this into Really Reasonable Ribbon's "Spring" Theme Challenge which you can see here.

Also, I used the paper folding technique that you can see at the top left corner. I made this for the F4A107 Challenge at Split Coast Stamper that you can see here.

Hi Kathy,I found your blog through Stampin' Sisters in Christ. I love your verses at the top of your blog. I have been praying about how I can use my blog as a "ministry" of sorts. It's a blessing to find other Christians in the blogging community.LOVE this card, and LOVE the image! Your paper folding looks amazing and I love the die-cut in the bottom corner. Looks like Cherry Lynn or Mariane's Dies. Either one, I'll have to go looking.God bless,Michelle
